Decentralized distribution
I've been interested in decentralized distribution lately and was planning on creating my own server based on it. I have read up on bittorrents but most are done in java and python, couldn't find any opensource C++ bittorrents. Would it be possible to create this type of server using the socket types that beej's tutorial talks about or does this type of server have it's own type of socket and a whole different way of doing things? Well, I know this would be different, but i mean just the connecting to the main server from a client.

Hmm, I've never heard of this client before. I am going to have to use it just because it's C++ lol.
I shouldn't really say open source bittorrents either. That's kind of a given considering if a bittorrent was closed source the author would most likely be sued.

Why? The protocol is open; if you write your own client based on the BT protocol without using the official client's source code, it's perfectly legit. My favourite BT client, uTorrent, is closed-source.

I think you should finish that c++ book before you get into that
 . You keep trying to get ahead of yourself. |
